Anima Holding (BRANIMACNOR6) closed at BRL 3.89 on B3 on October 5, 2026, up 16.47 percent on the session. The move followed a second-quarter performance in which net profit reached BRL 29.1 million, compared with BRL 9.5 million a year earlier, according to TraderNews.

Profit triples in Q2 2026

The result came with net revenue of BRL 1.05 billion in Q2 2026, 4.4 percent above Q2 2025. Adjusted EBITDA reached BRL 383.8 million, up 9.0 percent from BRL 352.2 million, while the adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 36.6 percent.

The earnings mix points to improving operating leverage. Revenue growth was slower than the increase in adjusted EBITDA, while the net profit comparison was stronger still, rising from BRL 9.5 million to BRL 29.1 million in the same period.

Tuition growth supports revenue

Anima's academic core posted a net average ticket of BRL 957 in the first half of 2026, up 10 percent from the prior-year period, and group revenue increased 8 percent, according to CNN Brasil. The figures show how pricing is offsetting pressure on the student base.

That operating profile matters because the company is also preparing for its next reporting checkpoint. Ânima's investor-relations calendar schedules the release of third-quarter 2026 results for November 5, 2026, after the market closes, with a results webinar on November 6, 2026, according to Ânima.

Consensus remains neutral

Analyst expectations are constructive but divided. The consensus published by Investing.com is Neutral, based on 11 analysts, with 2 Buy, 7 Hold and 3 Sell ratings. The average 12-month target is BRL 3.59, with a high of BRL 6.50 and a low of BRL 1.80.

Against the BRL 3.89 closing price on October 5, 2026, the average target is 7.71 percent below the market price. The split between Hold and Buy ratings leaves the next earnings release as the key test for whether profit growth can become a broader revaluation story.

Stock closes at BRL 3.89

Anima Holding closed at BRL 3.89 on B3 on October 5, 2026, after gaining 16.47 percent during that session. The price move and the Q2 profit comparison put operating execution ahead of valuation as the next measurable issue.
